Describing her injuries, Priya stated, “Three bones in my right leg are broken, and I have undergone surgery. I have deep injuries from my left shoulder to my hips. I am unable to move my body.

The incident occurred early on Monday morning near a hotel in Thane. The police have registered a case against the accused, Ashwajit Gaikwad, under IPC sections 279, 338, 323, 504, and 34. The DCP informed that further investigation is being conducted based on the victim’s statement.

If necessary, they are prepared to approach the High Court for justice, added the lawyer.
Reacting to the incident, Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed her dismay and questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for entrusting responsibilities to individuals who hold anti-women views.
